The pavilion structure, which has built-in heaters and lighting. This will likely be the dance floor.

The wine cave exit. We plan to walk through the sword arch here since we''re having a military wedding. I can''t wait to see my FI in his white uniform

The entrance to the courtyard, which we''re considering as the ceremony site. There''s a pretty stone stage setting and plenty room for 100-120 seated guests. The reception pavilion is located to the right of this.

The pavilion at twilight, during an event we attended last weekend. I love the purple color of the background right after sunset.

A look at the area around the center structure. We''re planning to use round tables seating 10 each around the perimeter of the pavilion.

This is what a lot of the property looks like - lush and green. You can tell from the photos that it had just rained quite a bit, and the area was still beautiful

Last one - a mock up of a monogram I made before we chose our venue. I''m probably going to work with a whole new color palette and style now that we''ve got this beautiful property as inspiration.
